Cant open ANY file with Pages 3.0.2 (iWork'08)

I cant open any file, not even a blank document. When I try to start a new document, I get the message:"The template “Blank.template” could not be opened." This happens with ALL templates (obviously the name of the template changes to that being tried to open).
Interesting enough is that Pages do not crash, as the menu bar on top is available.
Trying to open an existing document doesn't work also, as after selecting it and clicking OK, the browsing window closes but the file does not open.
This only happens with my account (administrator level). I've tried deleting the "com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist" file from MyAccount/library/preferences (moving it to Trash) but still the same.
Please HELP My operating system is 10.5.6
Regards
Arturo Trevino

In your own account, the unique preferences file directly related to Pages is:
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist
There is no reason to remove any other one.
But, before removing it, go to the Preferences menu item to check which is defined as the default template in your own preferences.
I am tired so I will switch off soon.
I will be back to-morrow.

Inquiry about opening any file with internet explorer

Dear all,
i am opening any file with internet explorer on the client machine.but i want to open it as READ-ONLY. so is there any parameter i should add to the command.
the command i am using is :
client_host('"\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " "'||v_file_name||'"'; );
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I don't think there is a way to open a file as read only using Client_Host. But i can give you another suggestion. Change the permission of the file to readonly (may be using chmod command) before opening the file in the browser.
client_host('chmod -w '||v_file_name);Regards,
Arun

I can no longer open .doc files with pages 5

hi,
whenever I click on a .doc document pages tells me that:
"Pages doesn’t support RTF files."
this is very annoying and complicates everyday exchange with colleges,
does anyone has an idea how to solve that? make pages open .doc?
best,
jakob

The weird thing is that it was a .doc file (I suspect an older version is what has caused that error) and not .rtf... I tried to open the same document with the older version of pages, which worked fine.
No, I can assure you it was an RTF file. The fact that the filename ended ".doc" is irrelevant and certainly does not make a file a Microsoft Word document. The filename is irrelevant, and the file content is what's critical. For example, I could take a .mp3 music file, and then rename it "Presentation.doc". You would not be able to open this in any word processing software on any operating system.
Also remember that having files end with ".xxx", although a requirement in Microsoft Windows is completely optional in other operating systems like OS X and Linux. Files do not have to have "extensions" at all.
You have two options:
1. Rename the file, removing the ".doc" part. Now when you open in Finder, it will automatically open with Text Edit, which is OS X's RTF editor. If you absolutely must cling to Windows conventions, you could set the extension as ".rtf" - it makes no difference, as Finder uses the file content format to detemine the best program to use.
2. If you do have Microsoft Word available (either on Windows or Mac), open the .doc file in Word, choose "save as..", change the document type from RTF to the Word ".doc" format, ignore the warning informing you that you are changing the format, and then Save. Now you can open the file in Pages.
Hope this helps.

Crashing when i try to open any file in pages (also keynote and numbers)

I just buy and install iWork 09. Everything about the installation seems to be ok but when i try to open any file, new or created, i get a crash program with the legend "Pages quit unexpectedly". I tried to reinstall 2 or 3 times but it doesn't work.
Any help?

I'm interested in the solution since I'm having the same problem after a reinstall and update Pages to 4.0.4
Keynote & Numbers won't launch either.

Fireworks CS3 cant open any file

Hi all,
I have Adobe Fireworks cs3 portable and it wont open any file. It wont open the open or save dialog. Even when I drag files into it from my windows explorer, the application shuts down. Any ideas as to what i need to do to sole this?
Thanks

I never heard of Fireworks CS3 portable, released by Adobe. Fireworks is always installed, it can't be portable (this is not Filezilla, for example, which is very light program and can be portable).
Chances are that you run a version, created by a third party -- I've heard of Photoshop portable, so Fireworks might exist, too, but this is not an oficial version, rather a "hacked" version so that it can work from a USB stick, or any location and be "moved around".
Sorry, I think that I cannot help you with that... I'd suggest installing an official Fireworks version, made by Adobe

Still cant open embedded files with Adobe Reader 10.0.1

Hi!
In the first version of Adobe Reader X you had to disable the Protection Mode in order to open PDF-files on a network drive or that are embedded in a i.e Word document.
I have now upgraded my version to 10.0.1.
The first issue seems to be solved (open files on a network drive). But I still cant open PDF files embedded in another file??
I get the error message: The Program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed.
And if I try to embedd a PDF-file myself into a document I get the same result.
As soon as I turn of the Protection Mode it works...
Is there a way to keep the PM on and still be able to open documents???
Regards Daniel

I'm not sure why Adobe hasn't looked into this. One description elsewhere in the forum seems to suggest that if the computer has had older versions of the reader installed, it will work -- somehow the embedded file needs an older registry key. I have yet to try installing older versions of reader onto my machine. This machine has only had reader 10 installed on it.
I tried the recommendation that is given in another thread. Turn off running reader in protected mode. The first time I did it, it didn't work. The second time I unchecked the "use in protected mode" box, I closed and then reopened reader. Now I can open embedded pdfs in word.

I cant open any files

my pse10 keeps saying could not complete your request because its not a valid photoshop document when i try to open any files. i dont understand why its doing this since i was just using it 20 minutes ago.

How are you trying to open the files? e.g from Organizer or from a folder?
What version of PSE and computer operating system are you using?

Cant open any files!

okay someone was messing around with my computer, and when i got on it any file i tried to open it opens adobe reader 8, and then it says-
"Adobe Reader could not open 'FileName.exe' because it is either not a supported file or the file has been damaged (for example, this file was sent as an e-mail attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
What is going on? Can anyone help?

For starters, Reader doesn't open .exe files.
Sounds like someone has changed your systems file associations. You may want to look up in your particular OS help menu how to change them back.

Cant open pdf files with 9700 bold

Hi guys I need help I had this phone with os 5 and was not allowing to open pdf files even online, I dd upgraded to os 6 and was able to open pdf I ve decided to go back to os 5 cause os 6 was taking to much space. Any 1 can advise which os 5 is good able to open pdf files online. I am currently downgraded to os 5.0.0.862 and I am happy with the space.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Natively, no BB OS can render a PDF file. None.
If the PDF remains as an email attachment (on a BB with a proper BIS service plan), then the attachment service renders the PDF...it matters not what OS level the BB is on.
If the PDF is not an email attachment, then you need a 3rd party app to render the file. With prior OS levels (prior to OS7, as I recall), the Desktop To Go Standard apps were included, but that did not include PDF ToGo...you had to pay for the Premium version to render PDFs. With OS7 (I think), the Premium version was included, so the PDF ToGo app was there, and was rendering the PDF document.
So, there is no OS level to recommend...as no OS levels, in and of themselves, can render a PDF.
Good luck!

Open .doc file with pages

Is there a possibility, that I can double click a .doc file and pages instead of word will open the document?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
If the Word document is password protected Pages will not open it. I suggest trying one of the Office clones such as NeoOffice or Open Office.

Adobe Bridge CC with OSX Yosemite - and i cant open RAW Files in Camera Raw. Does anybody have the same Problem?

If i try to open any File with Camera Raw exactly nothing happens.

What exact camera make and model?

Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.
