Cannot transfer pages document to iPad

On my mac I drag a pages document into the pages documents section of iTunes iPad Filesharing
Then Click sync
The document does not appear on my iPad
My Pages is 5.2.2 and the iPad is ios8.1
I know this used to work as I do have pages documents which I transferred to my iPad a while back.
Can anyone help please

Pages 5.2.2
OS 10.9.5 Maverick
Iphone 5s IOS 7
I cant upgrade to yosemite because I use my macbook pro for audio live performance. Installing Yosemite is exactly what I don't want to do now that all is in balance with my professional needs. I purchased pages so I can write while away from my computer and transfer docs between iphone and computer via cloud. Now I cant access my docs from my computer without upgrading to software I dont want???
Apple customer since the first machines...
Advise other than upgrade to get my docs back to my computer?
Yes, I know I can email. Why has Apple become so consumer unfriendly?

Transfer .pages documents to iPad

I'm waiting for the 3G model, but I figure owners of the WiFi only model could help answer my questions...
I know the iPad doesn't have a USB port (why Apple, why?!), but I have some .pages files on my mac and duplicate copies on a USB, and if I could just transfer them to the iPad, I could truly toss the macbook and just use the iPad for all my computing needs (because I only have really basic computing needs that don't include a camera, multitasking, etc...).
So, how would I do that (the transferring of documents), and what is the saving system like on the iPad? Is there like a "Documents" folder where I can store .pages and PDF documents on the iPad?
Thanks for your help.
Oh, and not that I'd need it, but do you think the iPad will ever run Mac OS X in the future? Or they'll release a touchscreen mac w/ no keyboard? Like I said, I wouldn't need it, but if it had a USB port, I would end up getting it, so I'm just wondering.

Transfer pages document from iPad to iPhone

I just bought an ipad 2, WiFi only edition. Shortly I will embark on a trip to relatively the middle of nowhere, where I do have Edge (maybe 3G) but no WiFi (and no PC/Mac). I would like to be able to create simple documents in Pages on the iPad, and subsequently transfer that to my iPhone, so I can email this using 2-3G. Would this possible with an accessory, or even bluetooth, with or without a 3rd party app?
Thanks for any help.

You didn't say what model phone you have, but if you have the availability of the hotspot on your phone, you may want to turn it on for the trip and then drop it when you return home. Other than that, finding a restaurant, coffee shop etc with wifi is the way to get it done. I can't think of a third party app that will do what you want.....

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad 2. Document succesfully transferred as Pages document to computer, but Pages 2.0,2 wouldn;t open it. Version too old?

Pages 2 is iWork '06, two versions behind what the iOS Pages creates. You need to use Pages '09 which you can purchase from the Mac App Store as a stand-alone application or a retail box of the iWork '09 suite.

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 cannot open Pages documents that I have worked on and saved. When I try to reopen Pages documents that I've saved, I get the following
message:
"The document “[name of document]” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format.
The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
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.

I need to transfer Pages documents to new computer.

How do I transfer Pages documents to new computer?

Be more precise: is it is new mac, and want to transfer data? is it another PC running Windows/Linux of someone else or yours?
Note that Pages format is not recognized on other platforms, you must first export it is a rtf or doc or PDF format. If a mac-to-mac transfer, you may copy Pages files just like any other format. You may connect the two macs or mac and pc via wilreless network or via an ethernet cable or, if both macs, via firewire cable, if both have one (not always) or you may use an external drive as an intermediate support for migrating.
If you more precise in offering details about what you need, perhaps we may be more useful. It is also important to know what size? if you have, say, 1 GB of files, a wl connections would suffice, if many GBs, perhaps a wired connection is better, it will be faster. All details are important.

HT201077 For some reason, photos taken on my iPhone did not transfer to my iPad. Apple could not help I have now loaded the photos from my Phone to my laptop, but still cannot transfer them to the iPad. Any ideas please?

For some reason, photos taken on my iPhone did not transfer to my iPad. Apple could not help. So I have now loaded the photos from my iPhone onto my laptop, but still cannot transfer them to the iPad. Any ideas please?

I just had this problem as well and spent quite a bit of time reviewing all of the suggestions/ideas/comments, and since I am not that tech-savy I remembered this "suggestion" from the UK show The "IT Crowd" which was "Have you tried turning it off and on again??" (both devices)

Cannot open, share or download Pages document from iPad or iCloud

Hi,
My girlfriend's sister is having some trouble where one specific pages document will not open and we cannot do anything with it (i.e. open, save as PDF, email as word file etc).
In iCloud you get the error "You need a newer version of pages to open this document".
On the iPad, error is "Document can't be opened".
She has pages version 1.7.2 on the iPad which is the latest version in the Apple Store.
I managed to get a pages file (or package) onto my PC to have a look at it and it is in the form of a folder called "name.pages-tef" and inside are the following:
If I open Index.db with notepad I can see her notes but they're surrounded by copious amounts of nonsensical code. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

The following link gets into the real details of the different file formats for Pages documents (there are three versions). The "-tef" file format is specifically for iOS and is translated to a mac format when using the file on a mac. One question is how was the file created? On a mac or on the ipad?
At any rate, around half way through the article is the beginning discussion of the -tef format. This may explain some of your issues.

Cannot open pages attachment on iPad

It would appear that since I upgraded the iOS on my iPad (to version 8.1) I cannot read a Pages document on my iPad. I do not use the iCloud for now. I will send myself a recipe for example from my MacBook to my iPad. The file comes through as an attachment but when I attempt to open it, I get the following: "Baked Apple Chicken.pages Pages document 293KB" nice and centred on the screen. Numbers file attachments work fine.

Not really sure if it's the source of the problem but updates are available for Pages on both iOS and OSX, the current iOS version is 2.1.
I'd update and try again.

Cannot open Pages Document

I cannot open an Pages document that a friend created on his Mac. Somehow it got corrupted. He made the document from a template I made for him. I called Applecare and they couldn't help me. We were able to open any other Pages documents I tried to open on my Mac; but not that one. Any suggestions? Does anybody know about any programs that can be used to repair .pages documents?
Thanks.

Hi.
Thanks for responding to me. I'm using Pages 5.2 (1860) and my friend was using the same version. He told me that somehow the program changed the file name too. I even tried changing the suffix in the file name from ".pages" to ".docx" and saw the jpeg images of the file. I could see on these jpegs that the document does exist. Can you suggest any way I can repair the document? Thanks again.

I cannot transfer purchases from my ipad to my pc

for over a month now, i could not been able to transfer purchases from my ipad to itunes. when i try this manually, a very quick count of transferring is shown in the info panel in itunes (approx. 10 seconds). But nothing is actually transferred to my hdd. My problem is i have around 600 apps installed on my ipad.
Please be sure about these before answering to my thread :
- My pc is authorised for certain.
- i' ve tried the "deauthorising-authorising again" action with no luck
- i' ve only used one itunes account while purchasing the apps.
- i' ve uninstalled and installed again for several times (all the apple products (itunes, quicktime, bonjour, mobile device support etc.)
- i' ve an iphone 3gs, authorised with the same PC. and can transfer purchases without any problem.
- for several times; when i connect my ipad to itunes, it urges me to restore to a previous backup. without any choice i do that. I find my notes etc turned to the previous back up version. But i also see the apps (which i cannnot transfer to itunes)remained undeleted.
- i have never jailbreaked anything. I am a good App Store customer.
- what i find while googling, i saw that i am not the only one facing this problem. Several users experienced this over 2 years. the only solution people find and recommend to me is to jailbreak and ssh into the ios system. they say this one :
"It appears to be a permission issue (probably due to the upgrade from 1.x to 2.x).
I changed permissions on a directory and removed a file and it seemed to work again.
chmod g+w /var/mobile/Media/ApplicationArchives/
rm /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.archive.plist"
i don' t want to do this.
- my biggest problem is i cannot upgrade to ios 4.3 because of this bug; because that, i cannot backup. Think of several apps that have files in it and customizations. think of long sized and timed games that are saved in the middle. i cannot start everything from the scratch.
-i cannot purchase them again inside itunes. Because i don' t have the long list of those apps which refuses to transfer.
-this makes ipad unreliable.i cannot trust it anymore while backups are not reliable.
- i have enough space on my hdd
- i am using win7 ultimate x64 and using the latest x64 itunes version.
- of course i tried different usb ports, different original usb cables.
- my hdd is in good state
- nothing is wrong with the iphone backups. I can backup iphone 3gs with the same pc.
- i' ve tried desyncing the music and trying with that, also done this with the movies, podcasts etc.
- i' ve choosen the "sync newly installed apps" option. Also my apps are thicked (choosen for sync).
- For hard reset, when i press the home + sleep button together for 10 seconds, it only shuts down. And shutting down is very fast (maybe 3 seconds).

I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

Cannot transfer rental movie to ipad, itunes thinks it is already transferred to another device

Hi,
Hopefully this is pretty straightforward. I downloaded a movie rental from iTunes store. When I attempted to move to my iPad (via manual sync) I got an error along the lines of the following: 'Cannot transfer movie rental as it is already transferred to another device'. I have rented movies multiple times from the iTunes store and did not encounter this issue. My laptop is authorized (I double checked). Correct me if I am wrong but if the rental appears in the iTunes library then technically it is not transferred.
Thanks in advance!

I have purchased but never rented movies but from what I have read, your assumption is correct. Once you move the rental to an iDevice it should disappear from iTunes.
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.

Copying Pages documents to ipad mini

Copying Pages documents to an ipad mini ~
An internet search gave a support.apple.com link to "Pages for iOS (iPad). Step 1. was "Open the document . . . . then tap [spanner/wrench icon]. I did that. Step 2. is "Tap "Share and Print . . . ". There is no such option in the menu which appears after Step 1.

If you want to copy the document from your computer to the iPad Mini, while you are in the thumbnail view of Pages on the iPad, tap the + sign to create new document (in the upper left corner) and then select "Copy from iTunes". Choose the document from the resulting window that pops up.
The information that you read is for sending a document from the iPad to your computer. It is old information from an earlier version of Pages anyway. In the latest version of Pages, you tap the Share icon in the upper right corner of the open document and select "Send a Copy".
